The picturesque or striking scenery provided a source of enjoyment. Tumultuous might also describe a landscape for some, but rarely one that provides enjoyment A respite is both a delay in punishment and an interval of rest or relief; the second meaning fits the context here. For the last blank, baleful tends to indicate a state of threat or menace and is too strong for the given context. Reprieved plays on the previously given terms, and is a synonym for respite. The best fit for this blank, however, is melancholic or gloomy.
